Dental crowns from your dentists in Everett, Washington can strengthen your smile.
Damaging your teeth is easier than you think, especially as you get older. Biting hard objects, grinding or clenching your teeth, or having an accident can are all things that can damage your smile. You can protect and restore your teeth with dental crowns. Dr. Ryan Bond and Dr. Megan Bond at Bond Family Dentistry in Everett, Washington offer a wide range of dental services including dental crowns to strengthen your smile.
Dental crowns are strong protection for your teeth because they cover all the surfaces of your teeth above the gumline. When you bite down on a crown, the biting and chewing stresses are evenly spread out over the entire tooth surface. The even distribution of pressure and stress protects your teeth.
If you have lost a large amount of tooth structure, your dentist may recommend a dental crown over a filling. You can choose from a variety of materials for your dental crown, each with its own advantages. Consider:
A full porcelain crown if you want the most cosmetically beautiful crown available; porcelain reflects light, and mimics the look of tooth enamel, so a full porcelain crown is beautifully natural-looking. Full porcelain crowns are a great choice for front teeth or teeth that show when you smile. The high-quality ceramic substance is very durable and tough—resisting damage.
A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, also known as a PFM crown, if you want the beauty of porcelain, but you need increased strength for chewing; PFM crowns have a strong metal underlay, making them an excellent choice for back teeth.
